On September 9th, 2009 the seller Steve Parker released the version 1.0.3 of the Business News application for the iPhone OS 3.0. If you are looking for an application that will provide you with all the latest news in the business area then you are in luck; Business News is the easiest news reader application available in the App Store. Business News is a news browser that formats all the interesting business news sites into an daily easy to read electronic newspaper.

Business, Wall Street Journal, NPR, Financial Times, CNN Money, Business Week, Newsweek, Reuter Business News, Fox Business, Dow Jones Financial News, CNBC, and Bloomberg.com. So what features does Business News application provides? Business News provides more features and options than any other application its kind. It has an user friendly interface because the sources are presented visually with their logos (just touch a business news logo and you the browser will open it).

There is no need for multiple business application because Business News provides all the necessary information you might need or want. This application provides the news from more than 12 different business sites. You can either visualize the information on the portrait mode or in landscape mode (therefore you will access full screen viewing).



When in Full Screen Viewing mode you can shake the iPhone or iPod in order to get access to the controls while in portrait mode if you shake either your iPhone or iPod touch you can change your preferred business site as your default source news.

It promises to offer in just one icon all the necessary information that you might get from a full page of iPhone or iPod touch business news software applications.

If it didn't happen to you yet, then you can consider yourself lucky, but here's what I had to keep facing these last months - some of my "noobish" Yahoo contacts sent a mass message saying that "Yahoo had reached its user limit, and if you don't send the message to all your contacts, it will cost you $10.00 to re-activate your account." Yeah, sure, how could one be so mindless to believe such a think? There are also localized versions of the hoax, saying something about "Yahoo's president" and naming a person having no link with Yahoo, and so on, but that's not the reason that pushed me to write this, because Yahoo seems to have a user limit, after all...

Currently, I have about 250 contacts in my list, but I don't worry too much about the number, because there's a constant "natural selection" taking place. You can also take it as an advice, because purging your contacts list is very healthy, believe me! OK, here's what to do - when somebody sends you a stupid hoax/mass message like the ones I mentioned above, explain everything to him nicely, proving that only a monkey could believe such a thing(oh, yeah, I love those "James is a sick kid, if you send this message to all your contacts, his bank account will get a cent for each message sent" mass spams!), ignore him(her) when such a thing happens for the second time, but issue a fair warning, while third time it's block/delete!

No, about the Yahoo Messenger user limit... After searching the Web, trying to find some official confirmation, I didn't manage to find anything clear, but some of my friends who are into marketing and have huge lists managed to enlighten me(thanks, buddies!), so now I am able to give you the right answer:

As we speak, the Yahoo Messenger user limit is 1,000 contacts, so don't forget to PURGE on a regular basis!

That's it, I hope today's piece of IT knowledge will help you in the future, or at least will manage to clear some things out for your general knowledge, right now.

"How can I help my computer stop freezing up?" is a question you don't want to ask yourself, believe me! On the other hand, even experts get to this point once in a while, so you shouldn't become desperate when random freezes occur. Usually, things that seem to be random are far from being this way, so first thing to do is to notice when this unfortunate event occurs, then think about stopping it. Before moving on, let me tell you only one thing - did you try turning on the heat? Just look at the frozen computer below!



The easy solution to the problem described here is to grab a specialist and ask him to solve it for you, or call your geek friends, if you got any. The interesting part is that you can take it step by step, and solve the problem by yourself, without any risks of becoming a computer geek yourself. Here's a quick walkthrough...

1. Check all cables and power connectors - for the start, you don't want to get inside your computer, so just check external cables to be in place

2. Ensure your computer is properly ventilated - if you stuck the poor machine in a corner, with less than at least 8-10 inches to the nearest wall, it may not be able to get fresh air for cooling, and freezes could happen due to - how ironically - overheating.

3. Scan for viruses - if you don't have any antivirus software installed, you could try one of the many online scanners available, like those from Kaspersky, BitDefender, or Trend Micro.

4. Sometimes, faulty drivers may cause system freezes. Spare a few minutes to update to the latest drivers for your video card, <-250x250 Square - right->mainboard, and other devices you may have, and then look for problems with them online(the official forums for each manufacturer of those devices should be great places to start with).

5. If the virus scan proves to come up with good results, don't be glad that your computer is clean. Try to spare a few minutes and check our computer safety tips. They may not help you avoid computer freezes, but will surely lower the risks of getting infected with some virus...

6. Defragment your hard drive and clean your Windows OS(if you have Linux or Mac OS X, you don't need to do such things)! The Windows cleaning tips we talked about some months ago will surely get come in handy here!

7. While speed tweaks are exactly what the name says, sometimes they can fix issues, although this doesn't make any sense. When it comes to Windows, sometimes you just do it, and thank your lucky star in the end - I know how does that feel, I've been there. I was trying to do one thing, I ended up fixing it in a completely different manner, and I couldn't explain exactly what happen. In the end, it's the result that really matters - just be sure to check the speed tweaks for XP article, it may help you a lot!

This would be all the important stuff you should think about when talking about computers freezing over - at least that's what comes to me when I think about it now. "How can I help my computer stop freezing up?" is not just a question, it's a nightmare. If you have some story to share with us, please go ahead and do it, we're all listening, but before I go, let me tell you a very short story of mine...

...a few years ago, I had a computer that started to reboot about two times when I tried to start Windows. No hardware or software changes happened in the last few days, so I almost went crazy. I managed to torn apart the computer, then bring all the pieces together, but reboots continued. After the initial reboots, computer was rock solid, and I had no reliability problems. What do you think helped me stop the strange problem? Patience, and nothing more! The same way it started, the same way it ended - without any special event to make it happen. That's my story; for now, good bye and see you soon!
